Poor Mr. Bigley... Toss a postal employee in the bathroom for him to play with once in a while Massy.

Poor Bigley is pretty low energy these days--not sure even if one of his favorite postal workers would cheer him up.

Aw, poor Bigley and poor you. It's really hard to have to go through this sort of thing with a pet, because there's no way to help them understand what is happening. I've been there and it's very rough. FWIW, I think you have made the right choice, for both of you.

It's been a long time since I've gone through this kind of thing with a pet, I'd forgotten how emotional it is.

that's pretty heavy news. the dance is short between man and beast, but what a difference animals have made in our lives. it's possible that once the urinary infection is cleared up bigley will be like his old self again-- let the mailman beware! i'll be thinking of you and wishing good thoughts for bigley.

I'm hoping that the antibiotics will help for awhile, but it's not looking too promising--the bathroom is feeling like a kitty hospice at this point. But you never know........

so sorry to hear abt this & wish you both the best. I know how awful it is to not be able to explain to a pet what's happening. but I do feel that they understand the love we show them.

Melina died 2 months ago today & I'm still not used to it.

He seems to have rallied a bit last night and today. He's eaten a little more than the previous few days and I've let him out of his hospital room a few times for supervised visits to the rest of the house. Last night I lay on the couch for awhile with him sitting on my chest purring, just like old times. I realize that it's probably only temporary, but it's nice that he and I can still share a little bit of ordinary life together.

I know how much Melina meant to you, and I'm bracing myself for my own loss.

we don't need to explain it to them. they understand death, and i'm sure they understand illness. it is sooo hard to watch them walk that last mile tho. gabriel, my miniature schnauzer, has been ill lately too--extremely high levels of liver enzymes, but none of the usual suspects seem to be the cause.

i'm like you , massy. love them and spend as much time with them as you can. my prayer is that i can hold them their very last minutes so they can pass over really feeling my love
